This time of year, the weather turns fast here in southwestern Louisiana. Summer is nearly over, fall is coming, and you have to start thinking about starting to turn that thermostat toward the “heating” setting on cooler nights. That’s why right now is the perfect time to schedule a seasonal HVAC tune-up.

Just like in the summer, a fall furnace tune-up can help your heating system run right, all winter long. Here are just a few of the things that Ace will look for when you call our team for your heating checkup and maintenance this autumn.

#1. We’ll examine the air filters

The air filter is an essential component that should be examined during your autumn heating tune-up. The U.S. Department of Energy states that cleaning or replacing your filters can result in energy savings around 5-15%. That could really add up over the course of an entire season.

As part of our seasonal HVAC tune-up, Ace’s technicians will look at your air filters and confirm that they’re clean and ready to go for the winter ahead.

#2. We’ll check the coil fins

Another important check during a seasonal HVAC tune-up is checking the coil fins. A bent furnace coil can prevent the proper heating of the room. It will make the system strain to generate heat, resulting in increased wear-and-tear. So, it’s important to get the coils checked to avoid issues with the heater later on.

#3. We’ll check out other essential systems

Your furnace has many moving parts and systems. We’ll check the mechanical and electronic systems of your furnace to make sure that everything is running right. As part of your seasonal HVAC maintenance, we’ll conduct air flow and temperature testing to make sure you’re getting warm air out of the furnace and into the living spaces of your home.

#4. We’ll take proactive steps to protect your other HVAC system

Autumn is a time when you transition from the use of air conditioning to the heater. When you turn the cooling device off until spring, you should take proactive steps to ensure protection of the system. Consider having us switch off the breaker to the air conditioner if you know you’re done with it for the season. If you own a cover for your air conditioner, we can place it over the system to prevent moisture from entering it during the winter.

In addition, water should not be kept standing in the drain lines and pans of the air conditioner. Not only will it result in mildew and mold formation, but it will also attract insects and pests. The drain lines should also be checked for blockages. This will ensure that there are no water leaks or other problems when you turn on the air conditioner during the spring.
